I’ll admit that this sudden shift in mood was the only part where the show lost me, as it took away the initial charm of the anime, and ended up becoming forced melodrama to compensate for the lack of high tension. Saying that though, the show does end up having a climax that steers the tone from zero to eleven out of nowhere, throwing a villain into the mix who poses a hazard to little Mii-kun, and forcing Kashiwagi to take action. However, for the most part, it employs a relaxing tone, relying on the charm of these cute little monsters to keep audiences smiling, and I liked that it didn’t suddenly become a cliche “We must protect these creatures from the suspicious authorities!” kind of story à la Spielberg’s E.T. It’s very much a slice of life formula, with the focus on high school teens bonding with each other and their sweet tiny critters, while also dealing with everyday problems.Īlthough, the stakes are sometimes raised from time to time, like in one episode, a mandrake escapes from Kashiwagi’s garden, and threatens to kill the townsfolk with it’s dangerously loud scream. If that’s not your cup of tea, then this show isn’t for you, because the adorability is layered thick in every episode. This show, is so so so so so so so so so so cute, it’s so Kawai that you could die from whimsy injury, or be sent to the hospital with a heart melted grin. Kashiwagi Sora has a self proclaimed adventurer father who travels the world, he often sends Kashiwagi strange gifts he’s found, but Kashiwagi never really appreciates them, because they can be overwhelming dangerous sometimes, but that all changes when he receives an adorable baby mummy from Egypt, and names it Mii-kun! While trying to raise this weird little cutie, Kashiwagi’s friends all end up getting creatures of their own, and they all start getting together to discuss how to look after their otherwordly friends.
